cla andy de guzman??? bong solomon???? any news???

dagdag ko dun sa mga naunang namention ko na:

I was reading the book "Just Balling", an inside story of the 1999 New York Knicks Team that went all the way to the finals despite a not so good regular season...I have learned that Chris Dudley, the back up of Pat Ewing has a type 1 Diabetes...so every half time he will prick a sample of his blood and put it in a device which measures your sugar level...aside from that he injects himself 4 times a day, insulin yata yun...so ganun ginagawa nya every game and kahit papano nakatagal sya for 13 season in the NBA.

Gilbert Arenas when he agreed to receive a lesser salary (although its still a whooping amount).....and because of his kind words for the Philippines esp. the basketball fans during his recent visit here...

David Robinson....gentle giant...soft spoken

Derek Fisher...he agreed to a lesser salary just to be close to her ailing daughter

Samboy Lim, gentleman on and off the court..very approachable and so humble

Benjie Paras, he was the one manning the fort when the sudden invasion of the fil-am players began...and he really carried the cause of the pure bred filipino ballers with flying colors...

From inter-colors, to highschool, to college and interdepartment competition, I usually managed to secure my one and only jersey number:::

09

syempre dahil kay samboy lim. ngaun pati number ng bahay namin ganun din....akalain mo. hahahahah

ZERONINE LIVES!

based on the replies, hands down si samboy "the dragon" "the skywalker" lim, then nelson "the bull" asaytono (perfect nga sya na image model ng red bull noon kc talaga namang kayod ng kayod sya non, then danny "dynamite" seigle...

sa mga mejo bata pa ng konti, tama yung previous posts na...si samboy lim lang ang pinapalakpakan pati ng mga kalaban...aside from jaworski...sya lang ang may standing ovation pag papasok na sya game...kung first time mo pumasok sa coliseum or first time mo manood ng basketbol, aakalain mo na may away o gulong nangyari kasi biglang nagtayuan ang mga tao at nagsisigawan, malalaman mo lang pala na may papasok na player ng san miguel, #9 at mahaba ang medyas nung panahon na hindi pa uso yun....

and as i've browsed my collection of sports magazines (mga early 90's ako nagstart magcollect he he he)..pareho lang ang comments ng mga sports analysts whenever samboy's name was mentioned, "IF HE COULD ONLY FINISH ONE SEASON WITHOUT INJURIES" in the bag na yung MVP sana... and regarding the selection of Jaworski on Samboy for the National Team " eh san ka naman nakakita ng duguan na mukha eh babangon at lalaro pa" words to that effect...stressing the fact that Samboy took all the blows, the injuries, pati na yung nangyari with Jolas...para sa mga bata pa o di pa sinisilang that time, picture this, yung paa ni samboy umabot sa board...

I've also remembered one game which made me really proud...this was when a fledging basketball association in the US, I.B.A. (International Basketball Association) yata yun, came to the phils for promotional purposes, led by Sean Chambers (who was eventually recruited by Alaska), they faced some our PBA teams laced with an import... they lost to SMB with Parks as the import but what was really proud for us pinoys during that time was when Samboy made mincemeat of their defense scoring 27 pts..prompting the commentator to say that "Samboy is going berserk"...

1. Regarding manny victorino, nakatabi ko rin sa casino yan nung adik pa ko nun... naglalaro xa...

2. Leo Isaac is still active as a coach same with Leo Austria and Pido Jarencio (NCAA or UAAP yata)

3. oo nga asan na nga si Brian Gahol??? c Henry Fernandez??? c Jabar?? Mike Orquillas?? these are guys who were productive and have made contributions once inside the court but had a very short PBA career

buti na lang si idol, Samboy Lim eh marunong magdala ng mga kinita nya noon...he is involved in the construction biz aside from being the manager of Ginebra and has established his annual Skywalker's Camp...good for him..but as for the others..tsk tsk tsk...
